In the November issue of VIBE Magazine, on stands now, rapper Lil Wayne a.k.a. Weezy, illustrates why the deadly combination of cash money and excessive weed smoking can and will lead to the cause of dead brain cells.

“The word whore, that’s a nigga who be smashing a lot, like fucking a lot.”

“Yeah, I said I’m a whore. I’m a whore. Whatever. And I live it to the fullest. I’m like Trey Songz, no homo.”

With one hand up saying, “Negro please" and asking wondering why we do this to ourselves.

Haven’t read enough? Then you’ll enjoy the excerpts from the interview below…

So here I am with the president of Cash Money/Young Money.

I just want everybody to know I am no longer the president of nothing. I gave Cortez Bryant the presidency of Young Money Records and I stepped down from any other positions… I am the president of me. I am me! I run nobody, I live in a different world with different laws.

Who else is in this world?

Only presidents. Me, Franklin, Reagan…

You must have the most unique voice in that world.Some people can’t sing and can just use their voice very uniquely. I was watching these clips on E! of the worst people singing the National Anthem and – what’s the dudes name from that rock group – the nigga with the big lips?

I know they got more but I don’t feel like thinking right now. I just… I don’t care – fuck them!

Do you listen to a lot of music?

Everybody who know me know you come around Wayne, you better not be trying to hear the latest hits from somebody’s album. ‘Cause when you listen to another niggas music you can get in that zone. Like I done listened to Hov and I didn’t wanna do nothing but get shot everyday, I didn’t wanna go to the studio. Hov wasn’t rapping about going to the studio. I stopped listening after The Black Album. I stopped listening to other people’s music.

But you know hit songs that are out, right?

Yeah, I’m on half of ’em. I listen to the ones I’m on.

Back in August, 50 Cent was talking trash about you jumping on everyone’s tracks.You talking about 50 Cent from G Unit?

Yes.

The big 50 Cent?

Yes.

Lil Wayne came out his mouth?

Mmm hmmm.

OH MY GAWD! I’M BIG! [sarcastic voice] I’m big, man! I didn’t know that dude knew me! What’s up 50? I got beaucoup 50 Vitamin Waters. He got the coldest one, the rest of ’em are really nasty. For real – don’t get that Revise – that other purple one. Naaaah, you gotta get that Formula 50. I done been fooled like that plenty of times. 50 got like the best-tasting Vitamin Water.

So you don’t have anything to say in response to him calling you a whore?A person like 50 Cent say anything about me, you gotta understand, that’s what makes them who they are. So me getting mad, that would be outta Lil Wayne’s character. There’s been plenty of recorders right here in my face saying, What you think about such-and-such saying…? Nothing! I don’t think nothing! That ain’t me, I’m from New Orleans, man, we kill, for real, I’m not gonna stress that!

Speaking of stress, let’s talk about the incident when the cops pulled you over after your show on July 22, 2007, at the Beacon Theater in New York.When they locked me up in New York and they asked me about Jay-Z, 50 Cent, G Unit and no fucking gun or weed like they made it look like on TV? Ask me what I told them – Nigga, I’m from New Orleans! I will murder ya’ll up in this bitch! Fuck that, why would I murder a rapper?! I’m gonna listen to his shit on the way to go murder another nigga!

So the hip hop cops took you in supposedly over guns and weed but ended up just interrogating you to get info about other rappers?

They ain’t ask me a damn thing about no gun or no weed. That could have been the gun that shot Kennedy, they didn’t give a fuck! All they wanted to know was, [in cop’s serious voice], ‘So what’s the beef with you and Jay-Z? You and 50 Cent?’ I said, ‘Sir, let me tell you two words – Beef who? [slaps his chest where his heart is] New Orleans, murder capital, man!

It’s so wrong how the cops stay steadily profiling rappers, trying to figure out some fake industry beef. I’m not gonna murder a rapper, that’s like a cliche. I don’t wanna kill 50 Cent! Because he got fans. I don’t know who’s riding with him! I need to beef with niggas that I know. I don’t know how many people like 50 Cent. So if he said Lil Wayne’s a hoe, Lil Wayne’s a hoe. The word whore, that’s a nigga who be smashing a lot, like fucking a lot.

Don’t you call yourself that in a song?

Yeah, I said I’m a whore. I’m a whore. Whatever. And I live it to the fullest. I’m like Trey Songz, no homo.

Huh? Why?

Every picture of this nigga, he got his fucking shirt off! He’s looking at the camera like he’s looking at a hoe. I said, ya know what? Trey Songz don’t give a fuck – he be like, Fuck ya’ll nig*as! I’m eating, bwoy! Fuck how you think I look in this picture, your hoe love this picture! It’s her screensaver nig*a! When you call your hoe, my song play, fool! Holla! Trey Songz I fuck with you, you heard me?

So you respect his gangster.

I know he a G ’cause I tried to holler at his girlfriend and she said no.

Really?

I don’t even wanna put that man out there, that might not be his girlfriend, but in her mind she think she yours, dog, and she told me no for you, so you’s a G. And this wasn’t long ago, this was recently, I was the president, I had all that going for me, bitch said NO! She sent me a picture of y’all and everything, like that new video from 50 and Ciara, that’s how y’all was.

Naked on top of each other?

For real, I fuck with Trey Songz, no homo.

That’s funny. Is there anything else you want to share about your career so far?

I signed my contract at 11, I put out my first solo album at 15 and I’m 25 and I’ve been living in that ever since. I haven’t sold a brick. I haven’t had to see one unless I wanted to snort it!

So what are you about to do now, after the interview?Yo, I forgot what we was doing! I forgot we was gonna go in the studio, Elz said he was gonna come through [Juelz Santana]. I dunno if he’s on his way.

Any parting words?

I’m glad that this whole interview was about what it was about and it wasn’t about my album or whose song I’m on because that makes it so important. That makes it so important.

Oh My God. I hope someone gets him some help. He has a child doesn’t he? I pray some responsible person is taking of that child.

Someone call children services.

William Clark

What in the hell was that?! If I had been the one interviewing him it would never have appeared because it would have ended up in the nearest circular filing cabinet. I don’t know about other people but the artists that I choose to support has a lot to do with what they stand for and how I interpret their interviews. I definitely will never ever support this person. I hope after this interview one of his fans intervenes by sending him some books. Subject matter– manners, public speaking, a dictionary and a thesaurus. And these are only for starters.

God help us! Why do the community support stupid stuff like this as acceptable “entertainment”?

tilly

ignant fool…

This is a prime example of whats being pushed in the black community to black youth. And the people instigating are white str8 & gay. No one mentioned the fact that the NYPD IS TRYING TO CREATE A RIVALRY, not to mention these officers are trying get promotions and raises off arresting these famous individuals. Most of these kids record sales are inflated they can’t tour “solo” if they’re not beefing they don’t get publicity. I personally don’t support anyone who promote shooting black men or anyone who want chalenge anyone that those. PEACE.

Brian

Seriously, it’s not just whites pushing this garbage – it’s white liberals who use deception to make you believe they’re helping you when it’s really you helping them. What, some food stamps gonna change your life? I don’t think so – handouts gonna make you survive? NO. But that’s what they want you to vote for, while they want the rest of the world thing your all just gangsa’s & hoes. We’re all worth much more than that! Honor diversity? Nah… honor unity! NO more ‘black’ men, no more ‘white’ men – when can we just be ‘men’?

-Peace-
